Enhance your natural hair colour with subtle ribbons of light — perfect for soft definition without the commitment of a full head of highlights.
What Are Slices Foil Highlights?
Slices foil highlights involve placing slightly wider sections of foil through selected areas of the hair to create a soft, diffused lift in colour. Unlike traditional highlights, which use fine weaves for all-over brightness, slices are fewer and slightly bolder, offering a more natural, low-maintenance glow. This technique is perfect for adding light and dimension without over-processing the hair.

Who Is It For?
This service is ideal if you’re looking for a subtle change or want to try lightening your hair without going all-in. Slices are a great choice for first-time colour clients, those who prefer a more natural look, or anyone wanting to frame their face with lighter tones. They can also be used to complement darker bases or refresh faded colour between larger highlight services.
How Long Does It Take?
A slices foil highlight appointment typically takes around 1.5 to 2 hours, depending on your hair’s length and thickness. The service includes a consultation, foil placement, processing time, and a professional blow-dry to finish your look.
What’s the Process?
Your stylist will begin with a personal consultation to understand your goals and choose the right placement and tone for your highlights. Slices are applied strategically to areas where the light naturally hits the hair — often around the face and through the top layers. After processing, a toner may be used for a refined finish, followed by a professional cleanse, condition, and styled blow-dry.
How Often Is Maintenance Needed?
To maintain your look, we recommend refreshing slices every 8 to 10 weeks, though the soft regrowth makes this a very forgiving option if you need a little more time between visits.
